Graduate Student Input for UBC Graduate Education Plan

January 31 2018

Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) is undergoing a consultation process to develop a five-year strategic plan for graduate education and postdoctoral studies at UBC. We believe graduate education is critically important to the university and to society, and we are very excited to develop a plan that will further advance our already outstanding programs and research. This has been happening at the same time as the broader strategic planning underway at the university, allowing us to delve into the domain more deeply and to inform and complement the university’s overall plan.

Our consultations to date have included sessions with faculty, student leaders, deans, associate deans, and staff. We now invite you to share your thoughts on what is working well at UBC, what could be better, and where you would like to see the university go over the next 5 years. I’ve attached a short document that provides some context for the discussion, that highlights the areas we currently view as a priority, and that focuses on a few key questions.

We would very much appreciate if you could join us for a discussion on any of these dates:
